Hi,
for the first time since I moved to Kubuntu 20.04 (more than 2 months ago), I've been facing a desktop issue when I last booted my PC (in a way, it makes me think of long lasting bug 354802, thus I have the feeling that in today's case, the cause is different).
After booting my PC yesterday (July 17th), I discovered that all icons on my desktop had been rearranged (all folders sorted first - which was not the case previously - then all files rearranged after folders - while previously I had a few files left "alone" here and there on my desktop). Plus the fact that my personalized wallpaper had gone, replaced by the default Kubuntu 20.04 wallpaper.
Here is a screenshot of the resulting desktop appearance.
I'm suspecting one apt update performed on the previous evening to possibly be the cause. Do you think one of these updated packages could have triggered a desktop "reset"?
